[SpaceProgram] Fwd: Project Management, Starships, and the Failure of Modern Physics - YouTube

[Jerry Isdale]

This was given in the context of the 100YSS organization.
There are probably a half dozen different non-profit organizations and groups now pursuing space technology.
To some extent each of these (including our SpaceGAMBIT) does 'control project goals and funds' which decides what work will be done, at least on their nickel.

If you have a limited amount of funds and your goal is to give it to hackers to further space education and research
how would you decide what work will be done?

That is a quandary that I face.
Please help us decide.
